Oklahoma troopers, ICE detain 120 illegal immigrants in three-day interstate enforcement sweep

[FoxNews] Joint ICE-state patrol operation uncovers drivers convicted of human smuggling, assault, drug crimes

Officials from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol recently arrested more than 100 illegal immigrants in a three-day crackdown.

In an Oct. 6 statement, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that the operation targeted "threats to public safety along I-40 in Oklahoma." It took place between Sept. 22 and Sept. 25.

"ICE ran records checks on foreign-born nationals that OHP encountered during patrol," the DHS's statement said. "As a result, 120 illegal aliens were taken into custody for immigration violations, 91 of which were operating a commercial motor vehicle with commercial driver's licenses (CDL)."

Among the 120 suspects, past convictions included DUIs, illegal re-entry into the U.S. and money laundering, as well as human smuggling and assault.

Some of the illegal immigrants were also convicted of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and possession of a controlled substance.

Two suspects were also arrested in connection to a nearby cannabis grow site.

In a statement, ICE deputy director Madison Sheahan said that the suspects had "no business operating 18 wheelers on America’s highways."
